Return of the Jedi 1983
Empire Strikes Back is the best and nothing touches Star Wars (A New Hope) as the first, but I can’t help it: I still love this one just as much. Just like 9-year old me.

Eighth Grade 2018
Rather nervously sat down to watch this with our two teen daughters. I thought it might be traumatizing, too close to home, especially for our oldest, who has severe social anxiety and depression. But we stayed up til 2 AM afterwards talking. There were tears and hugs. They told us stuff they feel now and stuff they’d felt in middle school that they couldn’t say before. They saw themselves onscreen and saw someone knew and someone cared.
So grateful to Bo Burnham and the medium of film — my girls felt seen.
